Official NBA Offseason/Player Movement Thread

Discuss away any FA Rumors/Trades/Player Movements

Quote:
Over the weekend Peter Vecsey snuck some Nets’ news in his article. Apparently Carlos Boozer has mentioned to people that two places he would want to land are Detroit and New Jersey:
Apparently, rising free agent-of-choice Carlos Boozer is telling confidants he’s either going to Detroit or New Jersey — only way the capsized Nets pull that off is by doing a sign-and-trade. Word has it Jersey will have but three assistants next season and all must take pay cuts.
This isn’t just Vescey talking about this, the Salt Lake Tribune talked about this as well. My opinion on the situation? It isn’t going to happen. The only way that the Nets can even dream of getting Boozer is with a sign and trade. Carlos Boozer is going to opt out of his contract (it hasn’t been made official yet, but Boozer has been hinting at it for a long time), that much is for sure. Now once he opts out, he is basically a free agent, and the Jazz would have to sign him again to deal him. If Boozer can get a better deal without resigning with the Jazz, why would he? Detroit seems like a much more realistic destination for Boozer. They can sign him without a trade, and they will have a need at that spot and the money to resign him (I strongly believe Sheed won’t be back in Detroit).
Now lets say that Boozer does opt out, and the Jazz resign him looking for a sign and trade. I still say the Nets are a long-shot to land Boozer. I think we don’t have enough attractive pieces to offer Utah. The Salt Lake Tribune say that a deal would have to involve one of two players:
Such a deal with New Jersey likely would have to be built around either Vince Carter, who has three years and $52 million left on the contract he signed in 2007, or Bobby Simmons, who will make $10.6 million in the final year of his contract.
I doubt that the Jazz would trade for VC (that is just bloated contract for bloated contract), and despite being an expiring contract, I don’t think Simmons would be enough. Now maybe Simmons and some picks would be enough, but I don’t think Rod Thorn (who has been known for his drafting prowess) would want to give up any of the 3 first round picks that he has over the next two years. I hate being such a pessimist about this (I would love to have Boozer on this team), and I hope I am proven wrong, but I just don’t see this happening. Especially when there are cheaper options at the PF position (Brandon Bass, Anderson Varajeo, Gortat, and a few others). Now granted, these players won’t be as good as Carlos Boozer, but they do fit in the Nets system (We need a rebounder and a defender more than a scorer) and we can get them without trading away anyone.

The NBA's drug policy is joke.

Re: Official NBA Offseason/Player Movement Thread

All I have to say is Trev is worth around 7 mill at the most. Odom is worth 10 mil.

Don't know how LA plans to keep both.

Boozer should go to Miami.

I believe that with Bird Rights, the salary still counts against the cap until he signs with another team. Or something like that.

In short, no, it can't happen.

Re: Official NBA Offseason/Player Movement Thread

What is up with Boozer? First he has LeBron as a teammate and bails, then he bails on Deron Williams?

Does he not enjoy playing with young, up and coming great players who also distribute the ball? It's not like the man isn't getting paid (granted he wasn't in Clev).

The last contract he signed was for 136M/7yr

So if he opts out just to get more years, there's not really much help given to the team.

And he can't even stay healthy...

It's very doubtful that he's going to come to Jersey, but are you saying it's a joke because it's reported that he's named those 2 teams as places he wants to go or because he wants to leave Utah?
